No problem.

The main culprit mould is aspergillis, the condition from inhalation called aspergillosis. Basically severe asmatic symptoms can occur. Like most moulds it has peaks at certain times a year. My dad was hospitalised once after shovelling multiple bags of chips on our allotment. Got told by a neighbouring plot holder it was no problem. He was a doctor. The next time he was wearing a mask. Also had to discourage young kids from playing on a pile Only to be told off by the ill informed parents Great to get a reminder
